Executive producer Giles Ridge said: "It's great to have the chance to give fans a sneak peak at the home of Thunderbirds. Tracy Island was a much loved feature of the original show, so it felt right that we showcase our new-look location with the show's followers."

Hollywood actress Rosamund Pike will voice Lady Penelope in the new show, while original Thunderbirds voice actor David Graham will reprise his role as her chauffeur Aloysius Parker.

The cast also includes Kayvan Novak, Thomas Brodie Sangster and Rasmus Hardiker.

Unlike the original show, which used puppets, Thunderbirds Are Go! will be a mix of live action and CGI. Producers have enlisted Weta Workshop, the special effects company behind the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' movies, to bring the iconic characters to life.

The show will air on ITV and CITV next year.
